The Class of 1996 won the Campbell Law Alumni Association’s award of an additional $5,000 donation for having the most individual class members give.

“We are incredibly thankful for the support of our law school alumni and friends with their participation in the many matching gift challenges as well as the Class Alumni Challenge,” said Director of Development Josh McIntyre. “As a result, our law student scholarships have expanded and Campbell Law will continue to be at the forefront in delivering the best legal education in the classroom and the most experiential learning opportunities through our unrivaled clinical programs.”
Campbell University celebrated a historic milestone on Nov. 12, as 2,381 alumni, students, parents, friends, faculty and staff united for Campbell Giving Day, setting an all-time record for total number of donors.

Participation remains at the heart of Campbell Giving Day, encouraging donors to support the school, team or program most meaningful to them.

-
Campbell Law alumni and supporters offered matching gifts unlocked at the $5,000, $10,000 and $20,000 milestones, resulting in up to $35,000 in matched support for the law school;
-
And several alumni and friends of the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law contributed matching gifts and challenge funds that were unlocked throughout the day, significantly increasing the impact of gifts to the law school.
